Yesterday I posted to the Plenty blog one of the more powerful and personal pieces I've written in quite a while. It is about Nigeria and Central Africa -- and it is also about you, me, and our role in creating justice. I hope you will give it a few minutes of your time. The text of the article is here. 

Kony 2012

This video stands alone, although at the risk of undermining its power I’ll add a brief introduction. I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to meet the incredible team at Invisible Children. I was moved and inspired by their passion, the tactical nature of their ask, their undeniable progress towards their goal, the single-mindedness of their mission, and the spirit of the entire operation. 

I’m so proud to share this video and to count myself as a supporter of Kony 2012. Very, very worth watching.
